This week's show explores the concept of fin'amor, which is often translated as courtly love. The troubadours were the most famous courtly love poets, but they certainly weren't alone. We'll hear motets from the Montpellier Codex, songs from Le Voir Dit by Machaut, and the dawn song Reis Glorios. Our performers include Anonymous 4, Paul Hillier, and the Oxford Camerata.
